Crabapple Cottage

We had a lovely weekend stay at the cottage. The house was clean and a beautiful modern kitchen, comfy beds and a cosy living room. We loved the log burner. We enjoyed a cliff top walk from the house, pizza on the beach at Runswick and an afternoon mooch around Staithes. Would definitely stay again. Sept 24

Had the most perfect stay at Janes with our dog. Jane has thought of everything and the little extra touches on arrival were just lovely. The garden is a dream and everything is finished to a high specification. Really was just the perfect get away we will be back. Sept 24

We had a wonderful stay in Hinderwell at Jane’s cottage with my husband and two children. It was so cosy, clean, welcoming and the trampoline was a big hit with our children! We had a wonderful meal at the pub next door and visited many gorgeous villages and towns near-by. Perfect location for visiting where my dad’s side of the family came from, Robin Hoods Bay! Thank you! We would love to come back. August 2024

We had a fantastic time staying at Crabapple Cottage. The house was beautifully decorated and cosy with all the amenities we needed. Our children loved the trampoline and a great secure garden for our dog to run around in. Beds were very comfy and really quiet at night being set back from the road. Hinderwell is a lovely village with beautiful beaches nearby, we were really sad to leave! Thanks for a great stay Jane. August 24

Our second time staying at Crabapple cottage, the place is amazing and even nicer after the refurb, always feels like a second home and we didn’t want to leave.. everything you could really need very clean and tidy and well though about , our little girl loved the trampoline in the garden and we spent a couple of nights out there watching the meteor shower and the aurora made some awesome memories Great location we visited Staithes, Saltburn-by-the-sea, Runswick Bay and Whitby all within around 20min travel Couldn’t of wished for a better holiday and place to stay and we’ll definitely be back again Thanks the Loomes family. August 2024

Firstly the communication prior to us staying was excellent and we had clear instructions for our arrival and departure. If asked a question regarding rhetorical local coastal path and Jane got back to me quickly with the answer. The cottage is in a small and quiet area off the main road and was spotlessly clean inside, as described and Jane had left some lovely little treats for our arrival. It’s close to the village pubs as well. It’s close enough to Whitby but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. The back garden was massive in length with everything you need. Our 2 spaniels loved it. The next door neighbour was lovely as well and even gave us some fresh Mackerel he’d caught the same day. The village of Hinderwell is an 8 mile drive to Whitby with other beautiful locations situated nearby in Runswick and Staithes. We loved our stay and will definitely be looking to return in the future. Thanks for making our stay an enjoyable and memorable one. July 2024

The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The kitchen was particularly well laid out and had all that we needed and more. There were two dog friendly pubs within fifty metres of the front door and further pubs in the surrounding area. We found plenty of places to visit nearby and great beaches for walks. Highly recommend. July 2024

We loved staying at the Crabapple cottage! It’s such a beautiful cottage with an impressive garden and very homely decor. Our daughter loved the trampoline too! Jane was really easy to communicate with and we’ll definitely be back. June 2024

We had a lovely last minute stay at Crabapple Cottage. The property was spotless with all required amenities, kitchen and bathroom particular highlights! Location was great for us as a base to explore Staithes, Runswick Bay & Whitby, and the nice pubs in Hinderwell were a great bonus. Jane was quick to respond to any queries, and instructions for check-in and departure were spot on. Feb 24

We have just returned from a short break at this wonderful cottage. The communication with the owner prior to check in was brilliant and the welcome goodies were thoroughly appreciated after a rather treacherous journey. The location of the accommodation was perfect and provided a fantastic base to explore the local area. The cottage itself was immaculate and provided all the amenities you could possibly need. We would love to return in the summer months to make use of the huge private garden. Overall, we highly recommend this accommodation and would not hesitate in returning. Jan 2024

The cottage is in a great location within walking distance of the local pub. The cottage is to an excellent standard with a really nice new kitchen and bathroom. The host is very helpful and quick to answer any queries. Jan 2024

Perfect bolt hole- the cottage is thoughtfully furnished with lots of personal touches that make for a cozy holiday home. WiFi is great, garden spacious, kitchen well provided for, bedroom extremely comfortable, parking right outside. The village is superbly situated for walks on the doorstep. The local pub serves great food . Really enjoyed our stay and would come back again! Thank you Jane. Oct 2023

Great cottage with great facilities, in a nice little village. Sept 2023

The house has everything we could’ve needed. The kids had a safe space to burn off evening energy while we relaxed. Jane responded immediately to the one query we had while there. Everything else was so easy. The surrounding areas of amazing for exploring and sea activities. Will definitely be back. August 2023

The cottage had everything we needed for our 3 night stay and the very generous welcome items in the kitchen were much appreciated. It was conveniently situated for some wonderful coastal walks to Runswick Bay and Staithes. We used the bus to get to Whitby, so didn’t need the car once there. We highly recommend this property and would definitely consider staying again, perhaps for longer next time. July 2023

We loved the location as it was close to the coastal path which led to Staithes or Runswick Bay. We were able to catch a bus only a short distance away, which enabled us to start our hikes at different points along the Clevedon Way. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and my dog Alfie loved the long garden. Jane provided a lovely welcome pack for our arrival which was a real treat! The cottage was clean, well decorated and the bed was very comfortable. June 2023

Such a gorgeous cottage, really homely and close to everything. Jane is a great host and is on hand if needed. The welcome pack was fantastic, super comfy beds and really well equipped. The trampoline was a massive hit and we barbecued 2 nights. We honestly couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back. Absolutely loved it ❤️June 2023

Crabapple cottage was like home from home just much more peaceful! Great location with a fab pub and fish & chip shop on the doorstep. The cottage was very well equipped and tastefully furnished with good quality furniture and items. Jane was very informative and responsive to messages. We had a fabulous restful weekend and will definitely be back. Thank you. May 2023
